24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Fort Collins, CO
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading. The affected area is sealed off from the rest of the house. Porous materials the water reached come out and are bagged, with drywall cut to a margin above the visible line; hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. The space is then dried and read, and the containment comes down only when cleaning and drying are both finished.

Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Mold Remediation
Growth and the material it grew into come out under containment, what remains is cleaned, and the assembly is dried and read before anything closes it in.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the floor wettest in one corner?
Because something is pulling it there. A fan drawing from beneath the slab runs continuously, and after a leak it moves moisture through the ground under the floor toward its own suction point rather than letting it spread evenly. The highest readings can be a long way from where the water came in.
Should the system be turned off?
Usually for the drying, and it is a decision taken early. Left running it keeps moving moisture around under the floor and can pull damp air through the slab into the house. Turned off, the ground beneath settles and the readings start describing where the water actually is.
What is checked before it goes back on?
The pipe itself and the ground around it, because water can get into the system as well as be moved by it. Once the slab has come down and the source is repaired the fan goes back on, but running it through a wet subgrade is not doing what it was installed to do.
